Heero stood beside Relena's bed staring down at her. He had waited until she had fallen asleep to come back up to check on her knowing that something was wrong and that she wasn't going to tell him. Nevertheless, he was going to find out… She couldn't stop him. He promised to protect her, even from her nightmares, and this wasn't the first time she had one. In fact she's been having nightmares every night. Or at least maybe the same nightmare, he wasn't sure. It started that Monday and only became getting worst.
Something was bothering her because she often woke up in the middle of the night and move around the room since it had began. It never occurred to Heero that she was having nightmares until tonight thought, and that was a mistake he cursed himself for. He figured that she was getting up to go to the bathroom or just could sleep and went to look out on her balcony.
He noticed how damp and sticky her hair looked; the only way it could have got that way was if she was sweating. She had been gasping as if she had been running a race, yet he hadn't heard her get up. And by the look in her eyes when she had spotted him told him that he was right about something being wrong.
Relena scrunched her face up and started to breathe heavily making Heero awake from his thoughts as her breathing quickened. His usually stoic face look slightly worried for a second, but then disappeared so fast that it was hard to tell if it was even there.
"Heero."
'Should I wake her up?' Suddenly she gave a loud sigh and rolled over. He leaned over at her to see her to see her face, which was now peaceful. With a loud unattractive grunted he straightening up and walked over to the computer desk, grabbed the computer chair, and pulled it over to her bed and sat down.
'What could a girl like Relena, with her clean past, have to dream about that would cause her to be so frightened? Could it be all the Gundam fights she has seen? It can't be. That was long ago. Why would she be dreaming about them now? And why is she on the other side of the bed? She never sleeps on this side.' Heero wondering quietly to himself, his face as emotionless as usual.
Heero stood up and walked to the other side of the bed and pulled back to comforter; his eyes narrowed as he noted that the comforter and sheet, in his left hand, were wet and cold.
"That's why you been getting up every night isn't it Relena," Heero asked but only got the quiet breathing of Relena as a response. 'You woke up soaked and went to change.'
He dropped the comforter back down on the sheet and walked back to the other side of the bed. Heero sat back down and sat staring at her for a while deep in thought.
'Should I wake her to get some answers or let her sleep. He debated this question for a while but finally tired and confused he sighed and rose from his seat. 'I'll let her sleep. It took her long enough to go back to sleep the first time she woke up. She has a big meeting tomorrow and it's almost morning now. And it might… No it will take a while to get any answers out of her.'
With one last glance at her, he picked up the chair and put the chair back at the computer. He silently slipped out of her room and back into his.
